Lol- enjoy isn’t quite the word i’d use- but yeah- people in southern states would stop functioning if temps dropped to -30 probably- northerners have had to learn to cope i guess-
We once lost our electricity for 2 weeks in the middle of winter- and it was -10 for most of those days- luckily we had a wood furnace and could stay warm-
I broke the ice on a stream near our home to wash my hair before going out - word of advice- never do that ! LOL- instant headache and pain-
